SEALING-MACHINE OF THE HOT-WATER TYPE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented June 15, 1915 Application filed February 6, 1915. Serial N o. 6,642.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, Isaac LUTHER DE- LANEY and JOSEPH W. PATTERSON, citizens of the United States, residing at Vayncs burg, in the county of Greene and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sealing-Machines of the Hot-Tater Type, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in sealing machines and more specifically to sealing machines of the hot water type.

The object of our invention is to provide a hot water sealing machine so constructed that in sealing bread, or other articles Wrapped in paper to be sealed with paralin or wax, the paper will not be scorched or burned, neither will the contents be subjected to injury.

A further object of our invention is to provide a machine of this character, that can be adjusted to seal packages varying in size. To this extent our machine is espe-v cially effective inasmuch as machines of various sizes are not required in sealing packages of various dimensions.

A still further object of our invention is to provide a machine of this character, wherein the operator will not be subject to burns, thereby making the machine safe and harmless. A

Other objects of this invention not at this time more particularly enumerated, will be clearly understood from the detailed description and drawings forming a part of this specication.

Furthermore, this invention consists in the no vel arrangement and combination of parts more particularly described in the following specification and embodied in the claims appended hereunto and forming a part of this application.

Referring now to the drawings, which are merely illustrative of our invention, Figure 1 isa top plan view of our improved form of sealing machine. Fig, 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is an end elevation thereof.

Referring further to the drawings, where,- 1n similar reference characters designate similar parts throughout the respective' views, A indicates a stationary boiler substantially L-shaped in cross section, having the short side A vertically disposed, while the long side is disposed in a horizontal provided with water supply pipes C and C the supply pipe C being located in the upper side -of the'portion A of the boiler A. The front sides of the portion A of the boiler A, and the boiler B are rounded as at A and B to facilitate the feeding of the packages. To the rear of the boiler A is provided a perforated cooling plate D, having a perforated side E formed thereon. An adjustable cooling plate F of similar construction is mounted on the surface of the plate D, and is adapted to slide transversely across D and in longitudinal alinement with respect to the inner side of the boiler B. For the purpose of adjustment to the plate F and the boiler B, I provide an adjusting device comprisin a movable plate G bent upwardly as at The upturned portion G is secured to the member to be adjusted. A plurality of supports O secured to the bottom of the boiler A and plate D are provided, on their upper sides, with lock nuts H and guide pins l, which areadapted to be placed within an elongated slot G in the plate G of the adjustable slides. Provision is made for the heating of the boiler A by providing a burner J underneath the boiler A, said burner J having a fuel supply pipe J attached thereto. The adjustable boiler B isprovided with a lateral burner K receiving its fuel supply from the pipe J by means of the flexible tubing K. A guard located centrally in the upper side thereof,

L is placed around the burner K and secured f plate D are secured longitudinal braces N to which are secured supporting legs M, said legs being substantially W-shaped in end elevation.

It will be noted that in sealing packages with wax, paraiin or any other similar material, that the boiler B and the plate F may be adjusted so as to insure a close contact thereof with the packages to be sealed.

The utility, adaptability, and advantages of our improved form of sealing machines being obvious, it is unnecessary to further enlarge upon the same herein.

Having now described and pointed out the within the purview of the appended claims.

What we clairnras our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent'is:

- 1. In a device of the kind described, 1n

combination, a-water container L-shaped in cross section, an adjustable Water container substantially oblong in cross section vertically mounted upon the longer arm of said lshaped waterY container, a heating device t mounted beneath said water containers, a perforated plate mounted adjacent one end kcontainer and coextensive in width of the longer arm of vsaid L-shaped water with, an upstanding flange formed upon one -`side of said 'perforated plate adjacent the shorter arm of said L-shaped water container, an adjustable perforated plate verti- Gally disposed upon said rst named plate 'iso opposite said perforated flange, means se-` cured to said oblong vwater container adapted to move 'the same' forwardly' or backwardly, and a plurality of supportszmountf A ed beneath said |Lshaped water container and said firstnamed plate.

there-f 2. In a hot-water sealing machine, in combination, a horizontally disposed water container formed with an upstanding side, an upstanding movable water container adapted to seat upon said horizontally disposed water container, means secured to said upstanding movable watercontainer adapted to secure the same in a predetermined position upon said longitudinally disposed water container, a heat dispensing device disposed adjacent the outer face of said upstanding movable4 water container, a heat dispensing device mounted beneath said horizontally disposed water containerfa perforated plate lmember formed with a perforated ange on one side thereof mounted adjacent one end of said horizontally disposed water container, anr upstanding perforated late movably mounted upon said first mentioned plate, Vadjustment means secured to said movable plate adapted to fix the same in a predetermined position, and a plurality of supports mounted beneath said horizontally disposed water container and said rst mentioned plate. v

ln testimony whereof we aiix our signatures in ,the presence of two witnesses.
